This is the fifth album by Fumio Kashima, who became a world-famous pianist after his encounter with Elvin Jones. The edgy groove of "American Tango" and "Merry-Go-Round" are very strong, and the colorful sound with power and volume, which sets it apart from ordinary fusion music, is very appealing.
